Nets-Clippers Preview
By KEVIN CHROUST
Posted Nov 16 2013 2:10AM
The Los Angeles Clippers are one of five teams with a home winning percentage of .800 or better since the start of the 2012-13 season.
They'll try to improve to 5-0 at home for....

Coming off a back to back with OT and with DWill out you'd have have to fancy our chances but you never know in the NBA. It will be interesting to see Doc go up against two of his old big 3 for the first time.

Game on. Lets get the W Clips!!!

I actually wish D. Will was playing. He is playing like a D league caliber PG atm and he doesn't play a lick of D. Shaun Livingston is actually better than him atm by a lot even.

He could very well be the next Baron Davis.

Anyway we need a decisive win where we play good defense. We need to blow this mediocre, struggling Nets team out.

When I wrote that about DWill I did wonder if him being out was actually an advantage

Brook Lopez might be out tonight also, but it's not official yet. If so, we win by 30.

Brook L. may sit tonight out

"That being said, Lopez may sit tonight. The Nets just don't know yet."

D-Will is most likely out as well

I'm glad to see Shaun Livingston still in the league doing well.

He was one of my favorite clippers. He was going to be top

3 pg's in the league if it wasn't for that injury.

With that said. lets go ahead and steam roll the nets.

We need a statement 25-30 point win game right now.

I'll take a 25-point lead heading into the 4th. Rest the horses and give 'em back 9 points... I've already guessed 16 as the spread in the guess the score game before I knew who was out

Might have a chance for a "blow out" by 30pts with all their injuries. We did it twice last season. Here's the total number of times it's been done in Clipper/Brave history:

Just as long as our guys play like they should and don't expect the game handed to them, we got this one.

As of this moment Clipps are 11 1/2 point favorites

Headed to the game tonight and hope to see this team continue to improve their defensive effort, more importantly see the 2nd unit improve. I think we caught a glimpse on Wednesday against OKC of the potential the 2nd unit has.

I would rather thrash the Nets having them at full strength. Either way I see no reason why a 25 point win is not in the making.

Clippers 115

Nets 90

^Would be a 1st in Clipper history. Possible, just not probable. Let's not let down and just win tonight.

This seems like a recipe for disaster with 4 Nets players out. The Clippers have had a tendency to play down to their opponents and let them dictate the pace. I hope it won't be the case here and Clips can just blow the Nets out of the water by end of third quarter. I need an easy win tonight. It would certainly be less stressful! Lol

Hmmm...not sure what to expect now.

Johnson is still a good player. And looks like we'll see a lot of Reggie Evans (ironic given my last post). Evans played Blake pretty love when last I remember. However, he's not really a scoring threat.

We just have to take care of business. Do our thing.

Just for the record I don't actually think we are going to win by 40. 15 sounds good if our starters don't play the 4th quarter.

Here comes a fun "play down to the competition" game. Ugh, i hate these.

So Madelyn Burke just reported that KG will, indeed, NOT play tonight also. It will be Joe Johnson and the bench. I know we've disappointed in the past against teams without their best players (last year against Houston without Harden comes to mind)....but c'mon, we can't let this team beat us tonight.

Love that guy. Hope he doesn't give us too many reasons to want him back on the team tonight! I mean, I want him back anyway, so he doesn't really need to prove anything tonight!

On a side note, is that weird bump still under JJ's left eye? Last I saw it was huge. I don't know how I'd be able to shoot one jumper with that. Seriously, I hope his eye is ok.

Well this game got a lot less interesting, lol.

Doesn't mean they should take the foot of the pedal. Bury them early.

That tough shot by Blake reminds me of the "travel" shot he made a couple years ago.

Dangit DJ, I know you were in a tough situation and all, but no need to close out that extremely on a guy averaging 6 points a game.

He ended up being pretty good on that last possession. Just needs to find some consistency, really.
